Polish Bloggers Cycle Chic

This is quite brilliant. Quite amazing. Quite humbling.
It's a collage from the cool Polish fashion blog Szafa Sztywniary. While our Polish friends in Krakow, Warsaw, Lodz, Torun and Wroclaw have been waving the Cycle Chic banner high and proud, this collage features Polish bloggers - by and large fashion bloggers - who have all taken a photo involving the bicycle.

What a splendid collection of photos. Szafa Sztywniary got the others to contribute to the collage. Cycle Chic is steadily moving into the mainstream. Thanks to you all. I'm humbled.

And here's a funky Polish animation film featuring a cool cat on a cool bike:

New York Cycle Chic

Sometimes we just miss places. Today it just happened to be New York. We're aiming on getting back in the new year with some cool Cycle Chic events. Not NYC but Janette Sadikh Khan on my Bullitt cargo bike in Copenhagen last year.
And here's a couple of films of Mikael riding in NYC.

Round the World Cycle Chic

Some of our recent favourites from the Cycle Chic Official Flickr Group. Bicycle style from around the world. Lovin' it.

Cycle Chic Goes to Helsinki!

Mikael will be in Helsinki this weekend to give his Four Goals for Promoting Urban Cycling talk at the Megapolis 2024 festival. Which will be cool.

BUT... there will also be a Cycle Chic get together this Friday and Mikael will be on hand to take some Cycle Chic Helsinki photos! Check out the Facebook event here.

Cycle Chic Global: Atlanta

Some brilliant shots of Cycle Chic in Atlanta from Cameron Adams, added to our Cycle Chic flickr group.

Poznan Stockholm

Cycle Chic continues to blossom and grow. The latest buds on the rose bush are Poznan Bicycle Chic, out of Poland. What is it with Poland?! Poznan's arrival on the scene puts the number of Cycle Chic blogs in Poland up to eight. Kocham Cię, Polska! Especially when you do stuff like this.

Dawid, from Poznan Bicycle Chic sent me these photos from the blog. Welcome!


Just across the Baltic Sea you have Sweden. While cities like Malmö and Lund in the south have inherited the Danish bicycle culture and embraced it, cities farther north like Gothenburg and Stockholm are still rising to the challenge. My friend Elin has decided to do something about that in the capital. She's launched Put The Fun Between Your Legs and is doing her utmost to capture Cycle Chic Stockholm. Wonderful!

Cycle Chic Critical Style Mass in Mexico City

Finally. I got around to editing some footage from my Cycle Chic trip to Mexico City some months back. Here it is. The world's first Cycle Chic Critical Style Mass. Just a group of cool people on cool bicycles going for a bike ride through a cool city. No hardcore 'reclaim the streets' attitude accompanied by a Rage Against the Machine soundtrack. No geeky "bicycle enthusiasts" with outdated advocacy messages.

Just a cool bike ride. Winning hearts and minds with style and bicycles. Bicycle Advocacy 2.0, if you like.

Here is a post about this day and now the film is ready, above. What a city.

Check out the Mexico Cycle Chic tag here on the blog for more images.

Berlin Cycle Chic

My good friend AK [you know her all too well from this blog post...] just got back from Berlin - the place Copenhageners go when they want to feel even cooler. This is the Cycle Chic goodness she spotted in the city. Fabulous.
